Introduction
The four committee members of the anatomy cell aim to impassion medical students to enjoy studying the structure and function of the human body, and are dedicated to sharing their enthusiasm for such an integral aspect of medical education.Weekly anatomy tutorials take place at Queens Medical Centre, based upon knowledge gleaned from the literature and our own clinical, dissecting room, and classroom experiences. Based around the syllabus and timetable for the BMedSci anatomical modules, we attempt to integrate each student's private study and experiences in the dissecting room for a greater appreciation of the topic. Although pitched at the level of the first and second year BMedSci course, all medical students are welcomed. Details of venue, date, and topics covered can be found in the weekly SCRUBS newsletter.
Anatomy tutorials are also conducted in Derby, aimed at the Graduate Entry Medic (GEM) students in particular, before the final GEM exam period begins. Forthcoming anatomy teaching for clinical students includes a summary lecture based around the paediatric surgery placement in Clinical Phase 2 (CP2), and consultant led tutorials based around their specialty.
In short, the purpose of the anatomy cell is to integrate anatomy into the knowledge base of future clinicians, so that they will both be better equipped to practice medicine, and more able to enjoy the study of clinical and academic medicine to the full.

Undergraduate 2nd Year Anatomy 2010Teaching sessions conducted by your peers (current senior medical students) who know exactly what is expected from you in both your weekly practicals and your end of year examinations. These sessions will be based on the dissection topic for the Thursday/Friday for the week they are conducted in. Topic: Topics to be announced at the start of term. Note: These sessions are designed to run in parallel with the SF1 course and as an adjunct to your own private study, not a replacement, therefore background reading prior to the sessions is expected to aid your understanding. Our aims are to consolidate your prior knowledge, to develop the information acquired from your own reading and to be available to answer any questions that may arise from this study. It is simply not possible to cover everything you need to know in the time dedicated for each session! This session is specifically geared towards first year students . However, as always, all SCRUBS members from any year are invited! Date: Sessions will resume in the new academic year Venue: Meet in B128, Medical School, Queens Medical Centre |

Anatomy Tutorials for 1st Year Undergraduates 2008/09Date: From September 2008 The anatomy cell has run weekly anatomy tutorials on Tuesday evenings, during term time, for pre-clinical BMedSci students. Tutors have been the four members of the anatomy cell, medical students ranging from the 2nd to the 4th year. From September to December sessions were aimed predominately at the 2nd year students, and focussed on the dissections they would be undertaking that Thursday or Friday as part of their mainstream medical training. As such, the topic taught at the anatomy sessions for each week matched the structures being investigated in the dissecting room the same week. For the second years, these objectives were for the Human Development Structure & Function and the Alimentary system & Nutrition courses. After Christmas the 1st years were the main target audience, with the same format otherwise used. In this case the objectives for the Human Development Structure & Function and the Cardiovascular, respiratory & haematology courses were used. The teaching style varied from didactic to interactive group sessions, and specimens from the DR were used. Imaging, osteology and surface anatomy was routinely discussed. Feedback was regularly taken at sessions to promote a constantly developing teaching quality. |

SCRUBS at MedlinkDate: 16th December 2009 For the 3rd year running, Scrubs was happy to assist The Royal College of Surgeons in teaching prospective medical students the basics of suturing. The College had set up a stall for the Biannual Medlink conference, where thousands of hopeful medics descend upon Nottingham to get a taster of life as a medical student. The stall itself consisted of a couple of fake lacerated arms, some skin pads and hundreds of sutures. It did not take long for the students to realise that the stall was the most hands on and practical table in the conference centre, and so after 5 minutes of the doors opening, the stall was surrounded by a small crowd of budding surgeons. The Scrubs committee engaged these eager students, talking them through the basics of suturing before letting them repair the wound. What was particularly enjoyable was hearing the students delight at successfully completing their first suture, with countless of them taking photos of their handiwork. We hope that we encouraged many students to pursue a medical career, and hopefully planted the seed of surgery into their minds. Scrubs would like to thank Jane Roberts and the other members of The Royal College of Surgeons involved in the conference, as it was and excellent teaching opportunity for the Scrubs committee. |
